Remcom announces 5G antenna array design features in the latest release of XFdtd

Remcom announces 5G antenna array design features in the latest release of XFdtd 3D EM Simulation Software, including workflow enhancements for modeling complex devices at millimeter wave frequencies.

The advanced antenna systems in modern devices leverage beam steering and multiple data stream transmission to meet 5G throughput requirements. XFdtd provides performance metrics for 5G beam steering applications by simulating the radiation pattern for different array or subarray phasing conditions that are used to steer a beam. By considering the optimal gain levels of the various beam steering scenarios, XFdtd plots the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of the array as a whole. The EIRP is an important indicator of the array’s quality of coverage and is particularly valuable for analyzing 5G-capable devices that support multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) use cases.
